Dear Friend,
Before I tell you about these exercises, I have a quick story I'd like to share with you. It's about a good friend of mine named Rick and it's a great example of how using the right exercises can make a phenomenal difference not only in your training but in your self-confidence and your attitude! I got his permission to share this story with you because he and I both felt this was information you needed to know. This all happened about a year ago and he's never been the same since...
Rick worked out regularly. He had been training about 10 years pretty seriously and had made some great progress but had never quite achieved the results he was hoping for, especially with the abs. He had put on a fair bit of muscle overall but he just couldn't seem to get his abs tight. He always joked that his six-pack was more of a one-pack, even though he'd been doing crunches and leg raises almost daily for the past few years.
Now, I've known Rick for a long time but, for some reason, he could never quite bring himself to try any of the new exercises for the abs that I've come up with, even though I had been trying to convince him for years. He had always been a "train-by-the-book" kind of guy, no matter how much I prodded him to give some new exercises a shot. He would always say "I've read in the magazines that crunches are the best exercise for the abs - I know they'll work. I just need to work harder at them."
Then he would drop down on the floor right there and do 40 crunches just to prove his point - wouldn't matter if it was in the gym or a parking lot or even in middle of a restaurant (go figure that someone so afraid to try something new wouldn't care about dropping on the floor and doing crunches on a restaurant floor!). If I ever wanted to have some fun with him, I would wait until we were in a public place then tell them that his crunches were useless. Without fail, he'd drop and start doing crunches!
But one day, something in him changed. He quit going to the gym altogether. He started constantly eating lots of junk food. Basically, he just let himself go. Within a few weeks, you could hardly even tell he had been training for 10 years. When I hadn't seen him in awhile, I went to his house and just walked in. I had to find out what was going on. He was laying on the couch watching cartoons and eating Cocoa Puffs right out of the box.
He looked up at me and turned back to the TV. I brushed some crumbs onto the floor and sat down. I asked him what was going on.
After a few minutes of silence, he sighed and said, "Nick, I don't know what to do. I was working my abs like crazy, doing everything right, just like the magazines told me to do. But nothing happened. My stomach stayed exactly like it was. Sure, it was firmer than it used to be and I could sorta see my abs, but no matter how many crunches I did, I could never get them to look good."
"Then a few weeks ago, I was doing some heavy squats and BOOM! My whole core gave out. I had to drop the bar down on the bottom rails just so I wouldn't blow my back out." He looked at me then said "What good are all these crunches if my abs don't look good and I can't even hold myself up when I'm doing squats?... So I gave up. I left the gym and I haven't gone back. I just don't know what to do."
I looked at him in all seriousness and said "So no more crunches in the parking lot of the Piggly Wiggly grocery store?"
He sat up and said "You $%#$% - can you help me? I think I'm ready to do something about this."
I looked back at him and said "You've been doing crunches for 10 years." He nodded. "Have you ever felt anything more than a burning sensation when you do high rep crunches?" He shook his head. "Have you ever gotten a pump in your abs like when you do a great set for your biceps?" He shook his head again, looking very puzzled.
"Nope, nothing like that. All I've ever felt was the burn from doing high reps." Then he looked at me strangely for a moment. "Did you say 'feel a pump your abs'? Is that even possible? I've never even heard of that."
"That's because you've been doing the same exercises for your abs for 10 years, Rick. How do you expect your muscles to adapt to anything when you keep giving them the same thing all the time! It's like doing bicep curls with ten pound weights and expecting your arms to keep getting bigger and stronger. The abs are no different. Crunches are fine for a basic starting point but once you can do more than 15 or 20 in a row, you need to change things up. You can't keep doing the same things and expect different results."
Rick looked at me then looked at the floor. "Why didn't you tell me all this before?" he finally said.
"I've been telling you that for 5 years!! You just never listened!" He smiled, having gotten the rise out me that he was looking for.
"Can you show me some stuff for my abs?" he finally said.
I looked at him and said, "Man, when I get done with you, you're either going to regret saying that or it'll be the best decision you ever made. I've got exercises that are going to get your abs in better shape in DAYS then what you got with your 10 years of crunches. And if it doesn't happen in two weeks, I'm going do your precious crunches on the counter of the McDonald's until they call security and throw me out."
He laughed and said "I'm going slack off on purpose just to see that."
Right then and there, I showed him a new exercise that he hadn't seen me do before, designed to build core stability. At the end of the first set, he looked at me and said "Dude, are you trying to kill me? And get that smile off your face. I've never felt anything like that in my abs before. It's an honest-to-goodness pump in my abs. That's crazy!" He couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
Now it was time to deliver the next blow... "Just wait'll you combine it with the next exercise I'm going to show you.... You don't have anything that you need a functioning stomach for tomorrow do you?"
He rolled his eyes back in head then looked over at the Cocoa Puffs box. "Does it look like I'm keeping a busy schedule? Bring it on! This stuff is great! Why didn't you have me doing this stuff years ago?"
My turn to roll my eyes back. I couldn't believe the change in Rick already, just from doing a single set of an exercise that really, finally worked his entire core strongly. I thought he was going to do backflips around the room, that's how excited he was. It was, quite frankly, astonishing. I could tell he had turned an important corner not only in his training but in his life. For the first time, he had decided to open himself up to new ideas. He was excited about going to the gym again!
So what happened to Rick? In two weeks, his abs were stronger than they ever were before and they were already peeking out from behind the extra weight he had managed to put on. Within 6 weeks, he had a six-pack that was popping out like never before. And he NEVER had any trouble with his core strength again.
You're going to learn exercises that:
* multiply the effectiveness of a standard trunk twist by a factor of 10! Regular use of this exercise will have you throwing harder, batting further, driving a golf ball longer, and punching with more force, not to mention developing steel-girder core strength and stability. This simple technique will dramatically increase the power and effectiveness of your rotational training.
* target and tighten the "love handle" areas directly. Traditional side bend exercises will build up the muscles underneath the love handle area. NOT what we want! This actually pushes the fat pockets out and makes the area look bigger! The exercise you will learn relies on forcing an extremely hard contraction in the area, tightening it up and making it smaller, not adding mass to it and making it bigger.
* work the side abs without any twisting whatsoever. Most exercises that target the obliques require you to rotate or twist. If you have any trouble with your lower back, this twisting can potentially aggravate the problem, leaving you unable to work those important muscles. A simple technique you can use will immediately throw the tension to the obliques in addition to the frontal abs WITHOUT ANY TWISTING OR ROTATION.
* can be done at home with ZERO equipment that work better than club machines that cost thousands of dollars. In fact, I've got an exercise for you that tightens up the muscles of your ENTIRE side from your armpit to your hip bone and all you need is a floor.
Because I am not only giving you the full scoop on how to do all these exercises,I'm also putting the exercises together into very specific workouts that are designed to help you achieve very specific goals.

6 Pack Abs
FACT: All Ab exercises are NOT created equal...
So what are these amazing, new exercises and what can they do for you? Couldn't you just type "abdominal exercises" into a search engine and get a bunch of ab exercises that way?
Absolutely! In fact, I would actually encourage you to do that. Why? Because what you're going to find is all the same rehashed stuff you see in the magazines week in and week out. That's exactly why you're here right now reading this - you know what's out there already and you want powerful, new exercises that are going to get you fast results...not the same old thing.The majority of the ab exercises I'm about to share with you are exercises that CANNOT be found anywhere else either in print or on the web. You may have seen a couple of them before - I'm including them because, though they're not totally new, they're not well-known and are extremely effective. However, the VAST majority of these exercises are new. The exercises are unique and innovative. These exercises are, above all, POWERFUL. And they're going to absolutely SHRED your midsection.
Let me put it this way...have you ever experienced a PUMP in your abs, like what you get in your biceps when you do a great set? And I'm not talking about a burn here - you can get a burn with any old exercise as long you do enough reps of it. Getting a burn is easy. I'm talking about a powerful pump that makes your abs feel like carved granite. I've got exercises for you that will do that on EVERY SINGLE SET. Rick experienced this and it was something totally beyond anything he had experienced before in his entire training career.
It doesn't matter how old you are (I have people in their 50's, 60's, 70's and even 80's using these exercises!).
It doesn't matter if you're male or female (women, fear not! These exercises WON'T make you look like a bodybuilder - they'll just give you that tight, sexy waist you're looking for).
To put it one way... you're going to learn exercises that will make the ordinary crunch look like a flailing schoolyard scrap compared to a professional championship boxing match!
I've divided the abdominal area into four categories: upper abs, lower abs, rotational and oblique exercises, and total abdominal exercises.
Upper Abs -
* Think you've felt a strong contraction in your abs before? Just wait till you try this cable exercise that makes the contraction you get from a regular cable crunch seem like a gentle breeze. You get MAXIMUM tension at the point where the abs are in their most "anatomically-possible" contracted position (completely bent in half).
I'll show exactly what I mean. Try something for me right now - while you're sitting upright in your chair, contract and squeeze your abs as hard as you can. Now bend over your chair until your chest is on your thighs. Now contract your abs as hard as you can, squeezing down and in. Feel the difference? That increased contraction happens because your abs are placed in a body position closer to their most fully contracted position. Now imagine adding direct resistance to this position!
* Want an ab exercise that can actually significantly IMPROVE your bench press strength? Work this exercise hard and you will NEVER have trouble locking out a heavy bench press ever again. If you're not using this technique, you're missing out on BIG bench press increases. It's quick and easy to set up, and will use your abs in a way they've NEVER been used before.
* You'll learn a variation of the cable crunch that not only gives you ALL the tension of the standard cable crunch, it actually increases that tension by moving the handle away from your body - you not only have to do the crunch, you have to stabilize AND lock the weight into position at an angle while you're doing it, dramatically increasing the tension on the upper abs. Then, to top it off, you can even finish the exercise with another movement (which I will teach you) that will absolutely BLOWTORCH the upper abdominal area.
* Discover how something as simple as how you position your body on the floor can send all the tension of a crunch like a laser beam right onto your extreme upper abs, making those upper abs pop out in stark relief. You'll even discover how something as simple as how and where you place and use your feet can DRAMATICALLY INCREASE the tension on the abs. Forget the six-pack... this exercise will develop an eight-pack!
* Use a training partner to perform high-powered negative training for the abs that will leave you doubled-over on the floor (with a big smile on your face!) by the time you're done.
* You'll learn a way to use the Swiss Ball (the large inflatable exercise ball) as the RESISTANCE itself rather than just something to lay down on. This simple technique will help you carve up your abs with the tremendous tension.
* Think momentum has no place in abdominal training? Think again! I'll teach you a floor exercise that not only encourages momentum, it actually REQUIRES you to use momentum to work! How is this possible? Simple. Using momentum in the proper way will actually make the exercise HARDER rather than easier, helping you develop the rock-solid six-pack you're looking for.
* Discover a very special cable exercise that uses the preacher bench in very creative way to put a HUGE stretch on your abs at the start. It then allows you to bring the bar around, change the pivot point of the exercise, then come down and around for a maximum contraction. I don't care how developed your abs are - you'll feel this one in the morning.
Lower Abs - Get tight well-defined lower abs in that hard-to-reach area. You'll never have trouble working the lower abs effectively ever again!
* Hanging leg raises are a good lower-ab exercise but I'm going to teach you a variation that not only hits the lower abs hard, it also forces your abs to support almost your ENTIRE bodyweight while you're doing it...and all without a single worry about failing grip strength! The tension on the abs is just incredible and it'll tighten up that area faster than you will believe!
I'll even show you how to easily adjust the resistance on the exercise so you can make it as hard as you want (it'll never be completely easy though even a beginner can do it in its simplest form). To give you an idea of how effective this exercise can be, I have VERY strong abs and I can adjust the body position to the point where I can only do 3 or 4 reps even on the first set!
* You'll learn an amazing cable exercise that targets the extreme lower abs that NOTHING else can directly hit. This exercise sends the tension directly there to help tighten up and minimize the lower-ab "pooch" area that is so much trouble for so many people. If you desire that lower-ab "V" taper line that looks so good, this exercise is perfect for you.
* You've NEVER seen the Swiss Ball (the big inflatable exercise ball) used like you'll use it in this exercise. Not only will it hit the lower abs with extreme tension, you'll also hit the lower abs with extreme instability, working every single hard-to-reach muscle fiber in the lower abs while building great stability in the area.
* You'll get a variation of the leg raise that takes almost ALL the tension off the lower back (a major fault with the Hanging Leg Raise) and allows you to place all the ab-developing tension right where it belongs - right on the lower abs!
* I've even got a great lower abdominal exercise that uses your own legs as the resistance (and NOT with gravity). As you're raising them up, you're also trying to push them down at the same time. The competing tension in this exercise tightens up the lower abs FAST.
* Ever get back pain from doing Lying Leg Raises? Who doesn't! They're a good lower ab exercise but the torque on the lower back makes them dangerous even for a healthy lower back. If you've got dumbells or a barbell and a floor, you can totally eliminate lower back pain with the Lying Leg Raise. By using this secret technique (I've NEVER seen anyone else do this), you can do Lying Leg Raises and hold your legs completely straight an inch off the ground with NO lower back stress. And then I'll show you how to make the exercise even harder and more effective!
Obliques and Rotational Exercises - Now you're going to learn the secret to not only getting a flatter stomach but achieving mind-blowing, steel-girder core strength.
Here's the big secret...crunches won't flatten your stomach and tighten the waist...rotational exercises that work the DEEP muscles of the core will.
Work the muscles that are designed for the job: the deep muscles of the core that are arranged AROUND your waist... these are called the Transversus and the Obliques. And I'm going to teach you exercises that DIRECTLY target these often-ignored deep muscles to cinch up your midsection and give you that tight, wasp waist that crunches haven't given you and never will.
Not only will these exercises tighten up your waist, they will also help you reduce and even possibly ELIMINATE lower back pain. What do workmen often wear when they're lifting heavy objects? A lower-back brace. They wear these braces because their core strength is not sufficient to provide that protection on its own. With the exercises you're going to learn, it'll be like having your own natural, built-in back brace working for you all the time!
